![]() ![]() My wife is a folk artist and there were many objects among our many collections for him to choose from - bottle-cap men, ceramic cars from Mexico, strings of red chile lights. ![]() ![]() He searched around the room, trying to find an object to attach to the two syllables. "What did you say?" I forced a phony smile to throw him off the scent. "Hey, London," I called as casually as I could. "What did he say?" she mouthed at me, careful not to alert our daughter that this word had some thorns. My wife and I looked back at him in unison, not dropping our forks, but definitely halting the chew. "Pussy!" he yelled, Thomas above his head, weighting his fist like a roll of pennies. London had just declared that he was finished with his meal and, not restricted by the rules of eating that the rest of us subscribe to, he began to run around the room, holding a Thomas the Tank Engine figure in the sticky tunnel of his closed hand. The first time London uttered the word, we were sitting at the dinner table - me, my wife, the boy and his 7-year-old sister, Poppy. This just goes to show how society is now collectively insecure and needs the world to shape around their brittle emotions.Just before Christmas, my 2-year-old son, London, started saying the word "pussy." As the father of two, I understand that new words stick to 2- and 3-year-olds like toilet paper to the bottom of your shoe, yet this ideogramic discovery struck me as different from the others. But when an older lady this it's empowering? This is the same thing period, people don't get to decide that what's empowering for one person is fake and unrealistic for another. I hear people rag on beautiful models and say that they're mostly airbrushed and fake. Well these photos are anything but, they are completely fake. So society decides that everything is positive for some random reason and that all of these things people do are empowering. But then society does the same thing when an old person goes on America's got talent to do an "Old timey cabaret type dance" for fun. How do you get to that age and still feel so unhappy with your own body? We live in a time when people who do these things are heralded a being strong for doing these ridiculous things to feel beautiful. I get why someone would want to have these done, but in reality it's just someone that is still insecure as an older adult. No amount of makeup is going to make their skin that tight. The only thing that's even close to the original picture is the general shape of these women. It's a ton of photo shop and picture editing.

It is, however, the older ladies that have the most startling transformations. “Through my work, I celebrate women of all shapes and sizes and believe that with the right posing, lighting and styling, I can bring out the best in a woman’s beauty.”įrom her Birmingham studio Dollhouse Photography, which has over $250,000 worth of lingerie, corsets, dresses, costumes and other accessories, Chrissy and her team shoot women of all ages. “I want everyday women to have access to a full photoshoot experience and magazine cover style images that models usually do,” Chrissy told the Mirror.
